33 CHAPTER 19 HUMAN GEOGRAPHY OF AFRICA: FROM HUMAN BEGINNINGS TO NEW NATIONS
34 19.1 EAST AFRICA Geography/History Eritrea (North), Seychelles (East), Tanzania (South), Burundi (West) = boundaries cradle of humanity Early center of: Arab, Persian, and Indian traders East Africa became a cultural crossroads
35 Colonialism Berlin Conference By1914, Africa was almost entirely controlled by European colonial powers Disregarded: This was the result of the so-called: These European colonial powers ruled most of Africa until the 1960s By the 1970s, most of East Africa had gained independence
36 Ethiopia Maintained: Emperor Menelik II played on European rivalries Ethiopians defeated Italians in the First Italo Ethiopian War in 1896 A provisional treaty of peace was concluded at Addis Ababa on October 26, 1896, which acknowledged the independence of Ethiopia.
37 Conflict Europeans had not prepared new countries for independence Legacy of colonialism:
38 In Rwanda, 80 percent of the population is Hutu, while most of the remainder is Tutsi In 1959, three years before independence from Belgium, the majority ethnic group, the Hutus, overthrew the ruling Tutsi king Over the next several years, thousands of Tutsis were killed, and some 150,000 driven into exile in neighboring countries Genocide in Rwanda
39 The children of these exiles later formed a rebel group, the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), and began a civil war in The war, along with several political and economic upheavals, exacerbated ethnic tensions, culminating in April 1994 in a stateorchestrated genocide More than 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were massacred by Hutu militias (~3/4 of the Tutsi population), and ~2million were left homeless as the international community stood by.
40 A common tool found in most Rwanda households, the machete, was used to hack hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians to death during the genocide. This stark picture conveys the extent of the killing. Many of the skulls are smashed, clearly bearing signs of the blows inflicted by the killers' clubs.
41 Economy Farming East Africa : Cash crops bring revenue, but: Increased urbanization due to:
42 Economy Tourism Wildlife parks in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania Generate millions in needed income, but:

44 Distance Running in Kenya Since the 1960s, Kenya has made a name for itself as the home to the world s most talented and decorated distance runners. Since the 1980s, in almost any distance race of 800 meters or longer, 70 or 80 percent of its winners have been from Kenya Both genetic and cultural differences have been cited to explain their success.

50 Political Turmoil in Egypt In January 2011, Egyptians stage nationwide demonstrations against the authoritarian rule of President Hosni Mubarak, forcing him to resign from power in less than a month In the post-mubarak elections, the Muslim Brotherhood takes control of the government culminating in the election of Mohammed Morsi Morsi s unilateral declaration of more powers for himself in late 2012 triggers protests against his regime, ultimately resulting in his ouster by the military in July The military has since cracked down on the Brotherhood, and is backing the newly installed government.
